DALLAS, TX — GunsAmerica.com, one of the nation’s longest-running online firearm marketplaces, has officially launched Local Listings, a new feature that enables gun owners to buy and sell firearms face-to-face in their own communities—without requiring on-platform payments or shipping.
Designed for private party transactions, Local Listings simplify the sales process for those who prefer to handle deals the old-fashioned way: in person, with cash, and close to home.
“GunsAmerica has always been about connecting responsible buyers and sellers. With Local Listings, we’re giving the community more flexibility and freedom to sell safely in person,” said Chris Linville, Chief Operating Officer of GunsAmerica. “Not everyone wants to ship a firearm across the country or set up a payment gateway. This is about meeting your neighbors and making legal, local deals easier than ever.”
How It Works
- Sellers can now post a Local Listing for just $5.00 for 30 days.
- Buyers can search for listings by ZIP code and contact sellers directly to arrange meetups.
- Local Listings are intended for in-person, off-platform transactions, with sellers and buyers responsible for following all applicable laws.
Safety First
GunsAmerica strongly encourages users to:
- Meet in public or police-designated exchange zones
- Bring a friend and communicate clearly
- Ensure both parties are legally eligible to buy or sell firearms in their state
While GunsAmerica does not mediate Local Listing transactions, resources and tips are available in the site’s Help Center to guide users through safe and legal exchanges.
A Flexible Alternative to Online Checkout
National Listings on GunsAmerica continue to offer secure transactions via GunTab, with nationwide shipping and built-in payment tools. The new Local Listings option simply gives sellers and buyers a choice—use the national model, or meet locally and keep it simple.
